Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Existing Loans shall, as of the Effective Date, be converted into the Loan hereunder.
Section 2.4. Intentionally Omitted.

The Borrowers hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, promise to pay to the Bank the then unpaid principal amount of the Loan in sixty (60) consecutive monthly installments commencing on January 1, 2015, and continuing on the first day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter with a final payment on the Maturity Date, each such installment to be in the principal amount of $124,583.34; provided, however, that the final principal installment shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loan outstanding on the Maturity Date.
Section 2.6. Prepayments of the Loan.
(a) The Borrowers may, at their option, prepay the Loan without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.12), in full at any time or in part from time to time by notifying the Bank in writing at least one Business Day prior to the proposed prepayment date, specifying the amount of the prepayment and the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and the amount specified in each such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified, together with accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid. Each partial prepayment of the Loan pursuant to this subsection shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000 or

such amount plus a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. Prepayments of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.7. Interest Rate and Payment Dates.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.7(b), prior to maturity, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 5.00%.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, all principal of the Loan and each fee and other amount then due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 5.00% above the otherwise applicable rate, from the date of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing by the Bank. In addition, if any payment of interest or principal hereunder is not paid or funds are not available to be automatically debited on the date on which it is due, the Borrowers shall pay to the Bank, upon demand, an amount equal to 5.00% of such unpaid payment.
(c) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(d) Except as provided in the next sentence, interest on the Loan shall be paid monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing on the first such day after the Loan, and at maturity for the Loan. Interest that is payable at the post-default rate as provided in provided in Section 2.7(b) shall be payable from time to time on demand of the Bank.
(e) No interest payable hereunder, whether by reason of maturity, the acceleration thereof, or otherwise, shall be in excess of the maximum rate permitted by any applicable law. As used herein, the term "applicable law" means the law in effect as of the Effective Date; provided that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Agreement shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of the Borrowers and the Bank in the execution, delivery and acceptance of this Agreement to contract in strict compliance with the laws of the State of New York from time to time in effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents at the time of performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from circumstances whatsoever the Bank should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced by the Term Note and not to the payment of interest.

(a) The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay or reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Term Note, and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel, independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Bank in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Agreement, the Term Note and the other Loan Documents.

Section 341. No such pledge or enforcement thereof shall release the Bank from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents.
38

Section 8.14. Judgment Currency.
If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Bank could purchase Dollars with such other currency in New York City on the business day (being any day on which commercial banks are open for domestic and international business (including dealings in foreign exchange) in New York City) preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due from it to the Bank hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the business day following receipt by the Bank of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency the Bank may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such other currency; if the Dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Bank in Dollars, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Bank against such loss, and if the Dollars so purchased exceed the sum originally due to the Bank in Dollars, the Bank agrees to remit to the Borrowers such excess.

as of the close of business on the Effective Date in the aggregate principal amount of $6,395,070.57, together with all interest accrued and accruing thereon (to the extent applicable), and all fees, costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto (collectively, the "Existing Obligations"), all of which are unconditionally owing by the Borrowers to the Bank without offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind, nature or description whatsoever.

The Liens and security interest of the Bank in the Collateral shall be deemed to be continuously granted and perfected from the earliest date of the granting and perfection of such Liens and security interests to the Bank (whether under the Existing Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any of the other "Loan Documents" (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement or this Agreement)).
Section 8.17. Loan Documents.

FORM OF GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
GUARANTEE AGREEMENT, dated as of December 17, 2014 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this "Guarantee"), made by the undersigned, THE ONE GROUP HOSPITALITY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Guarantor") to BANKUNITED, N.A. (the "Bank").
Reference is made to the Term Loan Agreement (as it may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Term Loan Agreement"), among The ONE Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and certain of its affiliates (hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a "Borrower", and collectively, as the "Borrowers") and the Bank.
It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Term Loan Agreement and the obligation of the Bank to make the Loan to the Borrowers under the Term Loan Agreement, that the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions
Except as otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms that are used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Term Loan Agreement.
Section 2. Guarantee
(a) The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on, the Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.
(b) This Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment and the Bank shall not have any obligation to enforce any Loan Document or any other agreement or document with respect to the Obligations or exercise any right or remedy with respect to any collateral security thereunder by any action, including, without limitation, making or perfecting any claim against any Person or any collateral security for any of the Obligations prior to being entitled to the benefits of this Guarantee. The Bank may, at its option, proceed against the Guarantor, or any other guarantor, in the first instance to enforce the Obligations without first proceeding against the Borrowers or any other Person, and without first resorting to any other rights or remedies, as the Bank may deem advisable. In furtherance hereof, if the Bank is prevented by law from collecting or otherwise hindered from collecting or otherwise enforcing any Obligation in accordance with its terms, the Bank shall be entitled to receive hereunder from the Guarantor after demand therefor, the sums which would have been otherwise due had such collection or enforcement not been prevented or hindered.
(c) It is understood that while the amount of the Obligations is not limited, if, in any action or proceeding involving any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or other law affecting the rights
of creditors generally, this Guarantee would be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of the aggregate liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, the aggregate amount of such liability shall, without any further action of the Guarantor, the Bank shall be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding.
(d) The obligations hereunder of the Guarantor are joint and several with the obligations of any other guarantor (if any) of the Obligations.
Section 3. Absolute Obligation

Section 4. Agreement to Pay; Subrogation and Subordination
Upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due beyond any applicable grace, notice or cure period, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Guarantor hereby promises to, and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Bank in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(c)). Upon payment by the Guarantor of any sums to the Bank as provided above, all rights of the Guarantor against the Borrowers arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the Guarantor agrees that it will not assert or pursue any such rights unless and until the Bank shall have received indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by the Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to the Guarantor on account of (a) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (b) any such indebtedness of any Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Bank and shall forthwith be paid to the Bank to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

Section 9. Other Provisions
(a) This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
(b) No failure or delay of the Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.

No notice or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(c) Neither this Guarantee nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into by and between the Bank and the Guarantor.

(f) The Guarantor agrees that any statement of account with respect to the obligations of the Borrowers from the Bank to the Borrowers which binds the Borrowers shall also be binding upon the Guarantor, and that copies of such statements of account maintained in the regular course of the Bank's business may be used, absent manifest error, in evidence against the Guarantor in order to establish the obligations of the Guarantor.
(g) The Guarantor acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, the Guarantor acknowledges having read the Term Loan Agreement and each Loan Document and having had the advice of counsel in connection with all matters concerning its execution and delivery of this Guarantee, and, accordingly, waives any right it may have to have the provisions of this Guarantee strictly construed against the Bank.
(h) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Guarantee or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 6. Certain Rights as to the Collateral; Attorney-In-Fact
-11-
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) The Borrowers shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that the Borrowers shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right without the prior written consent of the Bank if such action or inaction would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or the validity, priority or perfection of the security interests granted hereby or the remedies of the Bank hereunder.
(ii) The Borrowers shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, principal, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Collateral to the extent not prohibited by this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided that any and all (A) dividends, principal, interest and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments (other than checks in payment of cash dividends) and other Property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid‑in‑surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Collateral, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to the Bank to be held as, Collateral and shall, if received by the Borrowers, be received in trust for the benefit of the Bank, be segregated from the other Property of the Borrowers, and be forthwith delivered to the Bank as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement or assignment).
(iii) The Bank shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Borrowers, at the Borrowers' expense, all such proxies and other instruments as the Borrowers may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Borrowers to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i) above and to receive the dividends, principal or interest payments, or other distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to clause (ii) above.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(ii) All dividends, principal and interest payments and other distributions which are received by any Borrower contrary to the provisions of Section 6(b)(i) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Bank, shall be segregated from other funds of the Borrowers and shall
-12-
be forthwith paid over to the Bank as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(c) In the event that all or any part of the securities or instruments constituting the Collateral are lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken while such securities or instruments are in the possession of the Bank, the Borrowers shall cause the delivery of new securities or instruments in place of the lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken securities or instruments upon request therefor by the Bank without the necessity of any indemnity bond or other security other than the Bank’s agreement or indemnity therefor customary for security agreements similar to this Agreement.
(d) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Bank such Borrower's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Borrower and in the name of such Borrower or otherwise, from time to time at any time when an Event of Default exists, in the Bank's discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Bank may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation:
(i) to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral, and to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other chattel paper, instruments and documents in connection therewith,

(iii) to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Borrower representing any dividend, principal payment, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
The powers granted to the Bank under this Section constitute a power coupled with an interest which shall be irrevocable by the Borrowers and shall survive until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in accordance with the Term Loan Agreement.
(e) If any Borrower fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Bank may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Bank incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrowers under Section 9.
(f) The powers conferred on the Bank hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Bank shall have no duty as to any Collateral. The Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Bank accords its own property of similar type.
-13-
Section 7. Remedies upon Default
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall deliver each item of Collateral to the Bank on demand, and the Bank shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to any other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the NYUCC or the UCC of any jurisdiction in which the Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right, with or without legal process (to the extent permitted by law) and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass (to the extent permitted by law) to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral (and for that purpose the Bank may, so far as any Borrower can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the Collateral therefrom) and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower agrees that the Bank shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Bank shall deem appropriate. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which such Borrower or now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
(b) Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Bank shall give to the Borrowers at least ten days' prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that ten days’ prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. Each Borrower hereby waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Bank's rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Bank following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights with respect thereto.
(c) Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Bank may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Bank may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Bank shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Bank may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Bank until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Bank shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up
-14-
and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, the Bank may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Borrower (all said rights being also hereby waived and released), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Bank from any Borrower as a credit against the purchase price, and the Bank may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Borrower therefor. For purposes hereof, (i) a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof, (ii) the Bank shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and (iii) the Borrower shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Bank shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Bank may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
(d) Any sale conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7 shall be deemed to conform to commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610 of the NYUCC or the UCC of any other jurisdiction in which Collateral is located or any other requirement of applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, any Borrower agrees and acknowledges that, to the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Bank to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, it shall be commercially reasonable for the Bank to do any or all of the following: (i) fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Bank to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw materials or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) fail to obtain third-party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third-party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral, (iv) exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Borrowers, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) dispose of Collateral utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) disclaim dispositions of warranties, (x) purchase (or fail to purchase) insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Bank against risk of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Bank a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xi) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Bank, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Bank in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 7 shall be construed to grant any rights to any
-15-
Borrower or to impose any duties on the Bank that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or applicable law in the absence of this Section 7 and the parties hereto acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 7 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Bank would be deemed commercially reasonable in the exercise by the Bank of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Bank shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being set forth in this Section 7.
(e) For the purpose of enabling the Bank to exercise rights and remedies under this Section, each Borrower hereby grants to the Bank an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Borrower) to use, license or sub-license any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Bank may be exercised, at the option of the Bank, solely upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and the Obligations having become due and payable; provided that any license, sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Bank in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Borrowers notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default. Any royalties and other payments received by the Bank shall be applied in accordance with Section 8. The license set forth in this Section 7(e) shall terminate without any further action by either party once the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in accordance with the Term Loan Agreement.
Section 8. Application of Proceeds of Sale
The Bank shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, first, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Security Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of their respective agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Bank hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Borrower and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, second, to the payment in full of the Obligations, and third, to the Borrowers, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Bank shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Security Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Bank (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Bank or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Bank or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
Section 9. Reimbursement of the Bank
-16-
(a) The Borrowers shall pay upon demand to the Bank the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel and of any experts or agents, that the Bank may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Security Agreement relating to any Borrower or any of its property, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral owned or held by or on behalf of any Borrower, (iii) the exercise, enforcement or protection of any of the rights of the Bank hereunder relating to any Borrower or any of its property or (iv) the failure by any Borrower to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, any Borrower shall indemnify the Bank and its directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents, successors and assigns (each an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, other charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery by the Borrowers of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the Borrowers of their obligations under the Loan Documents and the other transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) Any amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Bank. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand therefor and shall bear interest at the rate specified in Section 2.7(b) of the Term Loan Agreement.
Section 10. Waivers; Amendment
(a) No failure or delay of the Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
-17-
for which given. No notice or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Security Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into by, between or among the Bank and the Borrowers.
(c) Upon the payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitment, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Borrowers. Upon any such termination, the Bank will, at the Borrowers' expense, return to the Borrowers such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof and execute and deliver to the Borrowers such documents as the Borrowers shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
Section 11. Security Interest Absolute
All rights of the Bank hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of, or consent under, or departure from, any guaranty, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower in respect of the Obligations or in respect of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document other than the indefeasible payment of the Obligations in full in cash.
Section 12. Notices
All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.1 of the Term Loan Agreement.
Section 13. Binding Effect; Assignments
Whenever in this Security Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of each Borrower that are contained in this Security Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and assigns. This Security Agreement shall become effective when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of each Borrower shall have been delivered to the Bank and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Bank, and thereafter shall be binding upon each Borrower, the Bank and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of each Borrower, the Bank and its successors

and assigns, except that no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment shall be void), except as expressly contemplated by this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
Section 14. Survival of Agreement; Severability
(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Bank and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Documents and the making of the Loan or other extension of credit, regardless of any investigation made by the Bank or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Term Loan Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect until this Security Agreement shall terminate.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good‑faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 15. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process
(a) This Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of New York.
(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Security Agreement shall affect any right that either party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this agreement or the other loan documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
-19-
laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Security Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in this Security Agreement will affect the right of either party to this Security Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 16. Counterparts
This Security Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 13. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Security Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.
Section 17. Headings

Section 18. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AGREEMENT
[SUBSIDIARY BORROWERS]
AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AGREEMENT, dated as of December 17, 2014, (this "Pledge Agreement"), by THE ONE GROUP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Pledgor"), in favor of BANKUNITED (the "Bank").
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2011, among the Pledgor, certain of its affiliates (collectively, the "Borrowers") and the Bank (as heretofore amended from time to time, the "Existing Credit Agreement") and in connection therewith, the Pledgor and the Bank entered into a Pledge Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2011 (the "Existing Pledge Agreement").
The Borrowers and the Bank are entering into a new Term Loan Agreement dated as of December 17, 2014 (as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, hereinafter referred to as the "Term Loan Agreement) pursuant to which, inter alia, the outstanding indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Bank under the Existing Credit Agreement is being converted to a term loan thereunder.
It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Term Loan Agreement and the obligation of the Bank to make the Loan to the Borrowers thereunder that the Borrowers shall have executed and delivered this Pledge Agreement.
Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby amend and restate the Existing Pledge:
Accordingly, the Pledgor hereby agrees as follows:
Section 1. Certain Definitions.
(a) Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Term Loan Agreement.
(b) As used herein the following terms shall have the following meanings:
"Collateral": (i) the Pledged Equity, (ii) all additional equity interests of any issuer of the Pledged Equity from time to time acquired by the Pledgor in any manner, and any certificates representing such additional equity interests, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such equity interests; and (iii) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing Collateral (including, without limitation, proceeds that constitute property of the types described above).
"Pledged Equity": the equity interests described in Schedule I attached hereto and issued by the entities named therein, including, without limitation, all of the Pledgor's rights, privileges, authority and powers as a member of the issuer of the Pledged Equity, and any certificates representing the Pledged Equity, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Equity.
"Obligations": (i) the due and punctual payment of (x) principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Loan, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, and (y) all other monetary obligations, including fees, commissions, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Borrowers to the Bank or any Guarantor including under the Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or that are otherwise payable under the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) the due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers or any Guarantor to the Bank including under or pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 2. Pledge. As security for the payment or performance, as applicable, in full of the Obligations, the Pledgor hereby pledges to the Bank, and grants to the Bank a security interest in, the Collateral.
Section 3. Delivery of Collateral. All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Collateral, if any, shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Bank pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank. After an Event of Default has occurred, the Pledgor shall cause any issuer of the Pledged Equity that constitutes uncertificated securities to (a) register transfer of each item of Pledged Equity in the name of the Bank and (b) deliver to the Bank by telecopy a certified copy of the then current register of equity-holders in such issuer, with such transfer and other pledges of equity duly noted. The Bank shall have the right, at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in its discretion and upon notice to the Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Bank or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral. In addition, the Bank shall have the right at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
Section 4. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral referred to on Schedule I free and clear of any lien, security interest, option or other charge or encumbrance except for the security interest created by this Pledge Agreement.
(b) The Pledged Equity has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable. There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, rights, calls, commitments, conversion rights, rights of exchange, plans or other agreements providing for the purchase, issuance or sale of any equity interest in any issuer of the Pledged Equity.
(c) The pledge of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Pledge Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment of the Obligations.
(d) The Pledgor is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, has all requisite power and authority to own its Property and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is in good standing and authorized to do business in each
- 2 -
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted therein or the Property owned by it therein makes such qualification necessary, except where such failure to qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) The Pledgor has full legal power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform the terms of this Pledge Agreement which has been duly authorized by all proper and necessary limited liability company action and is in full compliance with its certificate of formation and operating agreement. The Pledgor has duly executed and delivered this Pledge Agreement.
(f) This Pledge Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in an action at law or in equity).
(g) No consent of any other person or entity and no authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required (i) for the pledge by the Pledgor of the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Pledge Agreement by the Pledgor, (ii) for the perfection or maintenance of the security interest hereby, including the first priority nature of such security interest (except for the filing of a financing statement in the appropriate public office necessary to perfect the security interest granted pursuant hereto) or (iii) for the exercise by the Bank of the voting or other rights provided for in this Pledge Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement (except as may be required in connection with any disposition of any portion of the Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally).
(h) The Pledged Equity constitutes the percentage of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the issuer thereof indicated on Schedule I.
(i) The Pledgor has, independently and without reliance upon the Bank and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Pledge Agreement.

Section 6. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) The Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that the Pledgor shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right without the prior written consent of the Bank if such action would have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or the validity, priority or perfection of the security interests granted hereby or the remedies of the Bank hereunder.
- 3 -
(ii) The Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends or other distributions paid in respect of the Collateral to the extent not prohibited by this Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided that any and all (A) dividends or other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other Property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid‑in‑surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Collateral, shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Bank to be held as, Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Bank, be segregated from the other property of the Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Bank as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement or assignment).
(iii) The Bank shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor, at the Borrowers' expense, all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which they are entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) All rights of the Pledgor to (A) exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) shall, upon written notice to the Pledgor by the Bank, cease and (B) receive the dividends and other distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Bank, which shall thereupon have the sole right, but not the obligation, to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends and distributions.
(ii) All dividends and other distributions which are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 6(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Bank, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Bank as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(c) In the event that all or any part of the securities or instruments constituting the Collateral are lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken while such securities or instruments are in the possession of the Bank, the Pledgor shall cause the delivery of new securities or instruments in place of the lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken securities or instruments upon request therefor by the Bank without the necessity of any indemnity bond or other security other than the Bank's agreement or indemnity therefor customary for pledge agreements similar to this Pledge Agreement.
Section 7. Transfers and Other Liens: Additional Shares.
(a) Except as expressly permitted by the Term Loan Agreement, the Pledgor shall not (i) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest, option or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the security interest under this Pledge Agreement.
- 4 -
(b) The Pledgor shall (i) cause the issuer of the Pledged Equity not to issue any equity interests or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Equity, except to the Pledgor and (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional equity interests or other securities of the issuer of the Pledged Equity.
Section 8. The Bank Appointed Attorney‑in-Fact. The Pledgor hereby appoints the Bank the Pledgor's attorney‑in‑fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time when an Event of Default exists in the Bank's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Bank may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. The powers granted to the Bank under this Section 8 constitute a power coupled with an interest which shall be irrevocable by the Pledgor and shall survive until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
Section 9. The Bank May Perform. If the Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Bank, ten days after notice to the Pledgor (except that no notice shall be required upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default), may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Bank incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrowers under Section 13.
Section 10. The Bank's Duties. The powers conferred on the Bank hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Bank shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Bank has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Bank accords its own property.
Section 11. Remedies upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Bank may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time (the "UCC") (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and may also, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at any of the Bank's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Bank may deem commercially reasonable. The Bank agrees to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, to provide at least 10 days' prior written notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, and Pledgor agrees that such 10 day notice shall constitute reasonable notification. The Bank shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Bank may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
- 5 -
(b) Any cash held by the Bank as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Bank in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 8 of the Security Agreement.
Section 12. Securities Laws.
In view of the position of the Pledgor in relation to the Pledged Equity, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the "Federal securities laws") with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Equity permitted hereunder. The Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal securities laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Bank if the Bank were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Equity, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Equity could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Bank in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Equity under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. The Pledgor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Bank may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Equity, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Equity for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Equity, or any part thereof, shall have been filed under the Federal securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Bank shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Equity at a price that the Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 12 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Bank sells.
Section 13. Expenses. The Borrowers will upon demand pay to the Bank the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Bank may incur in connection with (a) the administration of this Pledge Agreement, (b) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (c) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Bank hereunder or (d) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
Section 14. Security Interest Absolute. The obligations of the Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement are independent of the Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Pledgor to enforce this Pledge Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrowers under the Term Loan Agreement or against any guarantor of the Obligations or whether the Borrowers or any guarantor of the Obligations is joined in any such action or actions. All rights of the Bank and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Term Loan Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
- 6 -
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non‑perfection of any other Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations;
(d) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries;
(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers or a third‑party pledgor.
Section 15. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Pledge Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Pledgor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Section 16. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.1 of the Term Loan Agreement.
Section 17. Continuing Security Interest Assignments under Term Loan Agreement. This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) the payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Pledge Agreement and (ii) the expiration or termination of the Commitment, (b) be binding upon the Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Bank and its successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the later of the payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Pledge Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitment, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor. Upon any such termination, the Bank will, at the Borrowers' expense, return to the Pledgor such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof and execute and deliver to the Pledgor such documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
Section 18. Governing Law. THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
- 7 -
Section 19. Survival of Agreement; Severability.
(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Pledgor and the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Bank and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of the Loan, regardless of any investigation made by the Credit Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until this Pledge Agreement shall terminate.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Pledge Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 20. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Pledge Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Pledge Agreement.
Section 21. Principles of Construction. The principles of construction specified in Section 1.2 of the Term Loan Agreement shall be applicable to this Pledge Agreement.
Section 22. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Pledge Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in Section 22(a). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
- 8 -
(c) Each party to this Pledge Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 16. Nothing in this Pledge Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Pledge Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 23.
Section 24. Certain Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Term Loan Agreement, terms defined in Article 9 of the UCC are used herein as therein defined.
Section 25. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Pledge Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Pledge Agreement.
Section 26. Amendment and Restatement. This Pledge Agreement shall constitute an amendment and restatement of all of the terms and conditions of the Existing Pledge Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Pledge Agreement does not constitute a novation or termination of the Pledgor's obligations under the Existing Pledge Agreement and related documents, (b) such obligations are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Pledge Agreement and (c) the liens and security interests as granted under the Existing Pledge Agreement are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect and secure the payment of the Obligations.

EXHIBIT D-2
AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AGREEMENT
[THE ONE GROUP, LLC / THE ONE GROUP HOSPITALITY, INC.]
AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AGREEMENT, dated as of December 17, 2014 (this "Pledge Agreement"), by THE ONE GROUP HOSPITALITY, INC., a Delaware corporation, formerly known as Committed Capital Acquisition Corporation (the "Pledgor"), in favor of BANKUNITED, N.A. (the "Bank").
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2011, among The ONE Group, LLC, certain of its affiliates (collectively, the "Borrowers") and the Bank (as heretofore amended from time to time, the "Existing Credit Agreement") and in connection therewith, the Pledgor and the Bank entered into a Pledge Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2013 (the "Existing Pledge Agreement").
The Borrowers and the Bank are entering into a new Term Loan Agreement dated as of December 17, 2014 (as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, hereinafter referred to as the "Term Loan Agreement) pursuant to which, inter alia, the outstanding indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Bank under the Existing Credit Agreement is being converted to a term loan thereunder.
It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Term Loan Agreement and the obligation of the Bank to make the Loan to the Borrowers thereunder that the Borrowers shall have executed and delivered this Pledge Agreement.
Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby amend and restate the Existing Pledge:
Accordingly, the Pledgor hereby agrees as follows:
Section 1. Certain Definitions.
(a) Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Term Loan Agreement.
(b) As used herein the following terms shall have the following meanings:
"Collateral": (i) the Pledged Equity, (ii) all additional equity interests of any issuer of the Pledged Equity from time to time acquired by the Pledgor in any manner, and any certificates representing such additional equity interests, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such equity interests; and (iii) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing Collateral (including, without limitation, proceeds that constitute property of the types described above).
"Pledged Equity": the equity interests described in Schedule I attached hereto and issued by the entities named therein, including, without limitation, all of the Pledgor's rights, privileges, authority and powers as a member of the issuer of the Pledged Equity, and any certificates representing the Pledged
Equity, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Equity.
"Obligations": (i) the due and punctual payment of (x) principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Loan, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, and (y) all other monetary obligations, including fees, commissions, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Borrowers to the Bank or any Guarantor including under the Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or that are otherwise payable under the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) the due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers or any Guarantor to the Bank including under or pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 2. Pledge. As security for the payment or performance, as applicable, in full of the Obligations, the Pledgor hereby pledges to the Bank, and grants to the Bank a security interest in, the Collateral.
Section 3. Delivery of Collateral. All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Collateral, if any, shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Bank pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank. After an Event of Default has occurred, the Pledgor shall cause any issuer of the Pledged Equity that constitutes uncertificated securities to (a) register transfer of each item of Pledged Equity in the name of the Bank and (b) deliver to the Bank by telecopy a certified copy of the then current register of equity-holders in such issuer, with such transfer and other pledges of equity duly noted. The Bank shall have the right, at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in its discretion and upon notice to the Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Bank or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral. In addition, the Bank shall have the right at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
Section 4. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral referred to on Schedule I free and clear of any lien, security interest, option or other charge or encumbrance except for the security interest created by this Pledge Agreement.
(b) The Pledged Equity has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable. There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, rights, calls, commitments, conversion rights, rights of exchange, plans or other agreements providing for the purchase, issuance or sale of any equity interest in any issuer of the Pledged Equity.
(c) The pledge of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Pledge Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment of the Obligations.
- 2 -
(d) The Pledgor is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, has all requisite power and authority to own its Property and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is in good standing and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted therein or the Property owned by it therein makes such qualification necessary, except where such failure to qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) The Pledgor has full legal power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform the terms of this Pledge Agreement which has been duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate action and is in full compliance with its certificate of incorporation and by-laws. The Pledgor has duly executed and delivered this Pledge Agreement.
(f) This Pledge Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in an action at law or in equity).
(g) No consent of any other person or entity and no authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required (i) for the pledge by the Pledgor of the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Pledge Agreement by the Pledgor, (ii) for the perfection or maintenance of the security interest hereby, including the first priority nature of such security interest (except for the filing of a financing statement in the appropriate public office necessary to perfect the security interest granted pursuant hereto) or (iii) for the exercise by the Bank of the voting or other rights provided for in this Pledge Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement (except as may be required in connection with any disposition of any portion of the Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally).
(h) The Pledged Equity constitutes the percentage of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the issuer thereof with respect to the Pledgor indicated on Schedule I.
(i) The Pledgor has, independently and without reliance upon the Bank and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Pledge Agreement.
Section 5. Further Assurances. The Pledgor shall at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Borrowers, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Bank may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Bank to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.
Section 6. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) The Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that the Pledgor shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right without the prior written consent of the Bank if such action
- 3 -
would have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or the validity, priority or perfection of the security interests granted hereby or the remedies of the Bank hereunder.
(ii) The Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends or other distributions paid in respect of the Collateral to the extent not prohibited by this Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided that any and all (A) dividends or other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other Property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid‑in‑surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Collateral, shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Bank to be held as, Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Bank, be segregated from the other property of the Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Bank as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement or assignment).
(iii) The Bank shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor, at the Borrowers' expense, all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which they are entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) All rights of the Pledgor to (A) exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) shall, upon written notice to the Pledgor by the Bank, cease and (B) receive the dividends and other distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Bank, which shall thereupon have the sole right, but not the obligation, to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends and distributions.
(ii) All dividends and other distributions which are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 6(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Bank, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Bank as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(c) In the event that all or any part of the securities or instruments constituting the Collateral are lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken while such securities or instruments are in the possession of the Bank, the Pledgor shall cause the delivery of new securities or instruments in place of the lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken securities or instruments upon request therefor by the Bank without the necessity of any indemnity bond or other security other than the Bank's agreement or indemnity therefor customary for pledge agreements similar to this Pledge Agreement.
Section 7. Transfers and Other Liens: Additional Shares.
(a) Except as expressly permitted by the Term Loan Agreement, the Pledgor shall not (i) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral if the same would constitute a Change in Control, or (ii) create or permit to
- 4 -
exist any lien, security interest, option or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the security interest under this Pledge Agreement.
(b) The Pledgor shall (i) cause the issuer of the Pledged Equity not to issue any equity interests or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Equity, except to the Pledgor and (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional equity interests or other securities of the issuer of the Pledged Equity.
Section 8. The Bank Appointed Attorney‑in-Fact. The Pledgor hereby appoints the Bank the Pledgor's attorney‑in‑fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time when an Event of Default exists in the Bank's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Bank may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. The powers granted to the Bank under this Section 8 constitute a power coupled with an interest which shall be irrevocable by the Pledgor and shall survive until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
Section 9. The Bank May Perform. If the Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Bank, ten days after notice to the Pledgor (except that no notice shall be required upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default), may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Bank incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrowers under Section 13.
Section 10. The Bank's Duties. The powers conferred on the Bank hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Bank shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Bank has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Bank accords its own property.
Section 11. Remedies upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Bank may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time (the "UCC") (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and may also, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at any of the Bank's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Bank may deem commercially reasonable. The Bank agrees to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, to provide at least 10 days' prior written notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, and Pledgor agrees that such 10 day notice shall constitute reasonable notification. The Bank shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Bank may adjourn any public or
- 5 -
private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) Any cash held by the Bank as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Bank in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 8 of the Security Agreement.
Section 12. Securities Laws.
In view of the position of the Pledgor in relation to the Pledged Equity, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the "Federal securities laws") with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Equity permitted hereunder. The Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal securities laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Bank if the Bank were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Equity, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Equity could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Bank in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Equity under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. The Pledgor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Bank may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Equity, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Equity for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Equity, or any part thereof, shall have been filed under the Federal securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Bank shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Equity at a price that the Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 12 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Bank sells.
Section 13. Expenses. The Borrowers will upon demand pay to the Bank the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Bank may incur in connection with (a) the administration of this Pledge Agreement, (b) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (c) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Bank hereunder or (d) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
Section 14. Security Interest Absolute. The obligations of the Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement are independent of the Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Pledgor to enforce this Pledge Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrowers under the Term Loan Agreement or against any guarantor of the Obligations or whether the Borrowers or any guarantor of the Obligations is joined in any such action or actions. All rights of the Bank and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
- 6 -
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Term Loan Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non‑perfection of any other Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations;
(d) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries;
(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers or a third‑party pledgor.
Section 15. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Pledge Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Pledgor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Section 16. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.1 of the Term Loan Agreement, to the address of the Pledgor set forth on the signature page hereto or to such other addresses as to which the Bank may be hereafter notified by the Pledgor.
Section 17. Continuing Security Interest Assignments under Term Loan Agreement. This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) the payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Pledge Agreement and (ii) the expiration or termination of the Commitment, (b) be binding upon the Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Bank and its successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the later of the payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Pledge Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitment, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor. Upon any such termination, the Bank will, at the Borrowers' expense, return to the Pledgor such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof and execute and deliver to the Pledgor such documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
Section 18. Governing Law. THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
- 7 -
Section 19. Survival of Agreement; Severability.
(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Pledgor and the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Bank and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of the Loan, regardless of any investigation made by the Credit Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until this Pledge Agreement shall terminate.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Pledge Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 20. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Pledge Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Pledge Agreement.
Section 21. Principles of Construction. The principles of construction specified in Section 1.2 of the Term Loan Agreement shall be applicable to this Pledge Agreement.
Section 22. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Pledge Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in Section 22(a). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
- 8 -
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Pledge Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 16. Nothing in this Pledge Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Pledge Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 23.
Section 24. Certain Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Term Loan Agreement, terms defined in Article 9 of the UCC are used herein as therein defined.
Section 25. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Pledge Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Pledge Agreement.
Section 26. Amendment and Restatement. This Pledge Agreement shall constitute an amendment and restatement of all of the terms and conditions of the Existing Pledge Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Pledge Agreement does not constitute a novation or termination of the Pledgor's obligations under the Existing Pledge Agreement and related documents, (b) such obligations are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Pledge Agreement and (c) the liens and security interests as granted under the Existing Pledge Agreement are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect and secure the payment of the Obligations.
